Problem with Dynamic Web Projecthttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/390985/930787/#msg_930787
I have a Dynamic Web Project, which uses JSP and static HTML. I did not touch this project for a longer time. Maybe I updated eclipse/java/tomcat components in the meantime.

When I now call "Run on Server", the following exception is printed in the console:

Eclipse has a separate and special web tools platform forum for your
support! Ask there.]]>Russell Bateman2012-10-02T16:53:00-00:00Re: Problem with Dynamic Web Projecthttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/390985/931303/#msg_931303
I have posted it in WTP, but there is no response yet.

What other places would be ok? Are there other eclipse forums or newsgroups?

I am looking for a solution for a long time now...

Thanks

I'd like to help but I don't know what this "Bavaria 64" thing is. I'm
suspicious of ever putting spaces in pathnames even on platforms like
Windows and Macintosh when these are involved in any way whatsoever with
software development. (I don't mind using spaces in the name of a letter
to my aunt Martha I'm writing in OpenOffice Writer, for example.)

I would rid myself of this "Bavaria 64" thing and choose a different
name. I'm assuming you have control over that because of where it
appears in your paths. I'm guessing it's your name and not something
imposed on you by some framework. You may or may not have something to
change in WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml afterward. If it's display-name,
you don't have to change it if you don't want to since that doesn't matter.

Next, I'd clear Eclipse's Tomcat stuff. Right-click in the Servers view
on your Tomcat, choose Add and Remove, double-click whatever became of
"Bavaria 64" (which will put it into the Available pane) and click
Finish. Then right-click Tomcat and do Clean. Then add your project back
using Add and Remove and Start/Debug it.

If you still get this error, I'd begin investigating the actual path
complained about. Go to that path and make certain it exists, that
permissions are good, etc. Normally, none of these things should be
problematic since Eclipse always does the right thing when it deploys
internally to the Tomcat you told it to use.

I've stopped monitoring webtools. If you have more questions and can't
get help there, ask me directly or in here and we can see from there.

I do this for years now on different platforms and it never caused a problem. But you are right, one should consider this when trying to find out what's wrong.
